Replacing the dome (non click dome receivers)
Holding the receiver unit in one hand, grasp the dome
between the thumb and index finger of your other hand.
Then remove the dome from the receiver. Place the new dome
on the receiver unit. Make sure it is secure before placing it in
your ear (Fig. 19).
Caution: Do not place the receiver in your ear without
the dome.
Warning: If the dome becomes detached in your ear,
contact your Audiologist or Hearing Care Provider or
physician immediately.

Cleaning instructions for domes
Cerumen (ear wax) on the dome may affect sound quality.
Listen for any changes in how your hearing instrument is
performing. If wax has built up, it can be easily removed with
the cleaning cloth or a soft tissue (Fig. 18). Do not use water,
alcohol, benzene or any other liquid or household cleaning
agent or liquid to clean your instruments or domes, as it may
cause damage.
Note: Never use sharp objects for cleaning, as they may damage
the dome. Never use running water or immerse the instrument
in water. Never use pressure or rotating action while cleaning.
